Together we are inspiring a community with a bright future.
Physical Education
At Lipson Vale Primary School, we believe in developing the whole child: mentally, physically and academically, as we feel these areas are of equal importance. Throughout the year, we have invested in high-quality, future-proof equipment to ensure every child at LVPS has the best possible opportunity to participate in a variety of sports.
​
Every child at LVPS participates in two sessions of PE a week: one indoors, which is usually based around gymnastics, dance or multi-skills as well as an outdoors session. This will mostly focus on acquiring the skills for, and playing a range of, competitive team sports as well as different athletic skills. We are fortunate to receive expert teaching from a sports coach, who is a member of Plymouth Argyle Community Trust. As well as delivering high-quality PE lessons, the PAFC coaches work closely with our teachers, through the Primary Stars Programme, to guide and support them in teaching their own PE lessons.
​
In Y3 and Y4, children attend a three week, daily, swimming course in place of their indoor PE session. We aim to provide a catch-up swimming course for children who need it in Y6.
​
In addition to our weekly PE lessons, there are daily sports clubs run by sports coaches, which provide access to a wide range of sporting activities. These also enable children to be part of teams and we take part in many competitions and tournaments run within the city. We provide a lunchtime sports club, which is run by our Plymouth Argyle coach, to provide children with the opportunity to exert their energy!
​
In the Summer Term, we provide an opportunity for all of the children to participate in a fun-filled sports day, which is packed with a range of activities and games.
